The story bits remind me of this.
So they're not fans of Egoraptor? I'm shocked.
Jokes aside yeah, I kinda groaned that they had basic annoying tutorial crap in the first stage. Can't just explain the mechanics through actual gameplay.

Should I have the code by now? I haven't gotten an email.

Uh oh.The story bits remind me of this.
They put a new update on their main page for the Kimo Kimo cup thing and managed to slip this in at the bottom:
I wouldn't count on this coming out to backers today.Apparently some of the beta people who got it weren't supposed to it was some sort of mistake on their end and apparently not all beta people got it.

Well, this does look like a Megaman sequel, Megaman 8 in particular.
Apparently there was a mix up on their end and for a short period of time beta people had their versions updated till they put a stop to it. Every backer will get the trial version which was supposed to come out today but they have some issue on getting the codes or something out right now.
Thanks for the information. I was slightly disappointed that I didn't have a code in my inbox but I'm glad it's just a technical mix-up.
Here's a 1080p 60FPS playthrough of the Special Demo. This is highest graphics settings running on a GTX 970. It has framerate problems even on that video card so I wouldn't expect solid performance out of the final game (which this basically is.)

"The demo we're putting out as apology for the game being delayed is delayed" is amazing.
Every time I start to look forward to this game they find a way to reverse it.

Yikes. Just as before, the visuals (3d models, backgrounds, color scheme, UI, etc. are hideous.
..and yet, if the gameplay was better it would be forgivable. Instead, it's just a really bad package. The enemies take inconsistent amounts of damage. The game wants to you to shoot really fast, but if you shoot too fast it won't detect the hits (not just on bosses, normal enemies too.) Annoying as piss for speed runs. I'm still working on getting S rank on the oil level though.

Man, as a huge Mega Man fan....I am incredibly disappointed in what I'm seeing. I've had a bad feeling about this game for a long time and things aren't looking any better now, at least in my opinion. Unfortunately, I don't think I'll be playing this game.
I'm not expecting good performance from other platforms at this rate.

I assume he meant X7. That and 8 are the worst of their series.But X8 is good.

Not meaning to derail, but no way. I mean, I disagree strongly. X8 isn't up there with X, X2, for sure, but it's a really fun game and no way the worst in the series. X3, X6 and X7 are right there.

Anyone got their codes yet that hasn't been a beta tier backer?
Edit: Oh it seems delayed great stuff!
You know what's even better the delay is at the bottom of a post titled Kimokimo, which doesn't give any indication of that important info.
No email, nothing on the kickstarter side, just a bottom section of a post that's titled without relation on the backer forum site.
Seriously Comcept can you stop being this incompetent and actually start communicating that stuff in the right manner?
I don't even remember anymore how many times this is now you've pulled that kind of crap.

Still no code here.
From what I've seen, I'm glad that we have a new Manami Matsumae soundtrack even if the game itself is disappointing.
The story bits remind me of this.
Their utter inability to integrate the heroine in any capacity but a nagger explaining the obvious is staggering.
X8 is a good game. It's not the undercooked X6 or clumsily schizophrenic X5 or even bland X3.

X3 is kind of a mess of confused "do what we did before but more, I guess" but at least a quarter of its stages aren't naff 3D vehicle segments. Like, X8 is a decent game and well above the two that preceded it but as indifferent as I am to X3 it's still a step above X8 which only feels like a breath of fresh air after the farts that came before it.

No way. Maybe the Saturn version of it I guess.

VA sounds terrible. I think it is better off without it.
Also, the gameplay just looks so average. Since MMC just came out to get my nostalgia fixed I don't know if I want MN9 anymore.

Totally. So not needed. I actually think the gameplay looks pretty ok, but the boring story bits could definitely have been left out. Being interrupted all the time really puts a damper on the momentum. And it looks like they're trying very hard to make the characters endearing, but all of them fall flat for me.
holy shit there's a lot of bad game design
Having the character stumble when you hold a direction after a jump... One hit kills that ignore mercy invincibility from previous hits, meaning you can be bumped into them by enemies... Tons and tons of meaningless shitty dialogue interrupting the action or playing over the action...
Wait, the trial is delayed? And it was supposed to be an apology for the delay of the full game? This is just hilarious.
Those cutscenes are so bad. They should have used anime portraits, and voice only.
Everythiing about this game looks so amateur. I'm sure there are better looking indie Megaman inspired games out there.

I know there is already the destructoid article but I think this one just emphasizes the real problem better. Which is communication.
Comcept hasn't learned a single thing.
How do you not fix your communication issues. I mean come on... how do you expect people to not think that you do this shit on purpose. It's happening too many times.

On that note, has the dude who paid $10k for the dinner with Inafune gotten his dinner yet? Last I heard (a couple weeks ago) it had not happened
